Posted on November 17, 2010 at 9:15pmWho has to ‘try’ to GET Americans to watch –another Harry Potter flick? –L@L
–British lead-character actors,
who (naturally) speak British-English in life
and in the movie they’re in,
promote the movie
to Americans
—>by reading aloud:
‘American’ expressions (?),
and saying the names of two popular Americans
—>with an ‘American’ accent ?
Oh, it was cute and sweet….
>But,
What’s that
really
say about American?
Gullible sheep?

Posted on November 18, 2010 at 9:30amIf you lived NORTH of the Canadian border like we do in Detroit, you’d know. It’s a consequence of their 52-letter alphabet: A, eh. B, eh, C, eh… It “colours” their thought processes. But, there is GREAT Asian food in Windsor!
